And with the Fender Custom Shop '62 Precision Bass Pickup, you and your bass can create era-defining tones for today's generation.

Was a little too vintage sounding with a .1 cap but perfect with a .050.

Put these in my maple player series with a fender.050 cap. Bingo
Wonderful Tone
These pickups made my Squire P-Bass into a Fender P-Bass in its tone and frequency response. I love the sound of my P-Bass now.
62’ reissue P’bass pickups
My order came quickly! I have a Mike Dirnt signature P'bass and the pickups gave out, the new ones came on a brass plate that I had to modify to fit but it was no problem. They are super quiet and strong from bass to treble, definitely worth it.
Old school thumper
I had doubts about buying Fender aftermarket upgrades. I put this in '93 MIJ precision two years ago with some TI jazz flats and 50 shows later I've never looked back. I'm not sure if it's my bass or the pickup, but it has this really "woody", dirty, grit that sounds really unique with the tone up. It really has a believable vintage sound. I waited way too long to adjust pickup height because that really put it over the edge. My only hang up is the protruding pole pieces look kind of odd, but whacha gonna do.
Fantastic upgrade
Put these in my MIM Fender P-bass and was immediately blown away. The highs and mids are much brighter and more defined, and the lows have much more depth. I play a lot of Proggressive Metal, so being able to hear individual high notes through low growling djents is a must for me. These pickups give me that ability. The tone adjustment is very responsive, allowing me to dial in different tones without having to rely solely on my preamp. I would say my MIM P-bass sounds just as good if not better than my USA P-bass. The only difference now being neck feel.
Bottom line. Yes. A worthy investment.
Great Pickup, Sloppy wiring
I love this pickup in by 62 avri precision, sounds bell clear on top end and nice pillowy lows. However, the white cloth wiring was dirty, and had red paint dripped on it somehow. Also, the cloth ends were frayed, and the wiring to the pickup itself had frayed loose wire at solder points. I'd give it a 5 but the workmanship was lacking.
Great Pickup, No Fender Quality Control
Fantastic Pickup! I gave it a two because I had to rewire the whole pickup due to very, very poor workmanship, sloppy red paint on the dirty white cloth wire, frayed cloth ends, frayed and broken wires at pickup solder points...a complete mess of a job. The Fender tech should have been ashamed to let this go...really should have been fired for a job like this. But I made it look professional, and sounds amazing.
Great Pickups!
Great tone.
I absolute love these pickups. They have a wonderfully rich tone.

This was a perfect upgrade to my Road Worn 50s precision bass. It now has a much smoother deeper tone.
The overall tone is way more defined. Thank you Sweetwater for helping me decide to go this route!!
Fender 62 P Bass Pickups
I recently purchased a used Precision Player bass guitar and while I was impressed with the sound, I thought about adding to my rig (GK MB212II)then I thought about making a pickup change. After reviewing several brands, I went with the Original Fender '62 Precision Bass Pickups, best upgrade I've ever done to any of my basses. The sound is great, I use the GK MB212II with an Eden Preamp/DI pedal, both purchased from Sweetwater and it is a beautiful combination. Thanks to Sweetwater for all the great gear.
62 Custom Shop Precision Pick up
This pick up sounds amazing in my Player Series P-Bass! I was a little hesitant to change at first because the Player P sounded pretty awesome with stock pick up, but I am super impressed with this upgrade. Once again, Sweetwater has exceeded my every expectation.
